"Comic exaggeration is part of Olbermann's shtick"

Yes, such as:

I'm not political. I have no more interest in the political outcome of an election than I did in the winner or loser of any ballgame I ever covered.

"It is not essential that a past president, bullied and sandbagged by a monkey posing as a newscaster, finally lashed back."

I have never gotten a pie in the face or someone swearing at me. I have heard from others there have been players that have thought about it but when they see -- I am their height or bigger -- they decide maybe this confrontation is not really worth it.

Can Ken Starr ignore the apparent breadth of the sympathetic response to the President?s speech? Facially, it finally dawned on me that the person Ken Starr has reminded me of facially all this time was Heinrich Himmler, including the glasses. If he now pursues the President of the United States, who, however flawed his apology was, came out and invoked God, family, his daughter, a political conspiracy and everything but the kitchen sink, would not there be some sort of comparison to a persecutor as opposed to a prosecutor for Mr. Starr?"

Hank,

Thank you, this will be my new signature!

Which will be first - a confrontation with Shockey in the Giants locker room or going toe to toe with Terrell Suggs coming off the field?

Olbermann countering O'Reilly with his own tactics?! Really? What a great community service this post is.

Have you figured out yet Colbert's show is doing the same? Hope you learn what satire is before you do.

btw, please stop tapping your toe in public bathrooms.
It's really annoying us straights.

Yeah, here's some more of Olbermann's "satire":

"When individuals insult and taunt Keith Olbermann, he responds.
Columnist Lloyd Grove says: "Olbermann's antagonists, who asked not to be named, repeatedly claimed in their June 8 E-mails that dead Al Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was Olbermann's 'hero,' prompting the television star to advise: 'Hey, save the oxygen for somebody whose brain can use it. Kill yourself.'"

Please TLSR, don't even think of comparing (or giving Olbermann a pass) to Colbert. Colbert satire is BRILLIANT. Olbermann is some stupid hack no better than Beck or Limbaugh...

I'm not a fan of Olby or Colbert, but comparing the two is an insult to Colbert. Colbert is nowhere near as thoughtless and stupid as Olby is. It's hard to believe Olby had an Ivy League education.

Heads-0n 2:20!

Lots of people are scared of freedom and democracy. I've always thought they're the ones who can't make it in a free country. The Mussolinis, Perons and Batistas. They need thought police to make things safe and simple for them. They make me sick to death. I think your Royal King is a fear-mongerer. They're war-mongerers too. I'm sure he is. Of course his neck's safe. He's never served and never will. Let others die so he can talk like a big man. No brains, little balls, big mouths.

Keith Olbermann/Hitler video (overall, dopey video, but old footage of Olbermann used from his ESPN Porn-mustache (circa 1987 even though the ESPN footage was after 1992) days is worth the view:
